The London Taxis FX4, also known simply as the FX4, was another classic model of London taxi produced by the London Taxi Company (LTC). The FX4 was in production from 1958 to 1997, and it was a prominent and recognizable part of London’s streetscape during that period.
The FX4 had a distinctive, purpose-built design for use as a taxi. It featured a high roofline to provide ample headroom for passengers and a spacious interior. The front grille and overall shape were characteristic of the classic London black cab.
The FX4 initially had a four-cylinder petrol engine. However, later models were often equipped with a diesel engine for better fuel efficiency.
The FX4, along with other classic London taxis, played a significant role in the city’s cultural identity. The sight of a black cab became synonymous with London itself.
